#UK #Wealth #Inequality heading for most unequal country in the #DevelopedWorld” @ImaTigerrr @eapn #BreadlineKids Oxfam GB has issued a series of social media communications, coinciding with the Channel 4 programme by Dispatches called Breadline Kids. A damning joint #report from Oxfam, Church Action on Poverty and The Trussell Trust on UK widening wealth divide and extreme inequality, #absolute poverty and #destitution for those at the bottom, with UK heading to become the most unequal country in the developed world. Oxfam make some hard hitting comments that highlight the disgraceful situation for a country with such extremes of wealth such as the UK, one of the richest countries in the world. It is an organisation that has worked for the worlds poor for decades and often highlighted the unjust inequalities that have existed in the #ThirdWorld, with the developed world often exploiting resources, whilst poor suffered #poverty, #disease, #malnutrition and #starvation. This situation has gone on for far too long. But for such an experienced organisation as Oxfam to have to highlight inequality and extremes of poverty now being experienced in the UK, shows it to be a totally unacceptable situation. This report has comes out at a time when UKs richest have become the richest ever, with a phenomenal increase in wealth since 2010, whilst a totally opposite decrease in wealth from those least able to loose what little they had, at the bottom of the ladder of UK society.
